Accessing data
Consumption evident
Even if production estimates do not exist, trade analysis can be used for local demand. Apprent consumption measures the country's demand. It includes import export data.
Analyze the supply chain
Sometimes, inputs from other countries are used to create the final product. To determine which countries supply bulk materials and how much raw material is flowing between them, a trade analysis can help.
Trade analysis can be used to determine origins and prices of raw materials coming from different countries. It is possible to find out if raw materials are entering a country and if they are being exported either as final goods or intermediate products. Different regions may have different data that could provide more information about the top exporters of certain products. These data can help you determine the best strategy for purchasing raw materials or intermediates in the future.
Data that shows the value and volume of exports can provide insight into the export prices in different countries. According to the US International Trade Commission, 48 million kilograms (or $28million) of soybean seed were exported from the United States into Canada in 2017. These numbers can be used to estimate the soybean seed export price at $0.60/kg. This is an estimate of the entire HHS code. The estimates could be affected by trade flow reporting errors. All users should understand these steps.
Trends over time
Trade tensions are increasing. To analyze the effect of current trade policies on regional and global goods movements, you can use data on imports as well as outgoings. Trade data can be used to analyse the production processes of different industries. If there is an increase in production capacity, exports to other countries may decline. Many industries depend on components from around the globe to produce their products. These trade practices could indicate that it is time for a reexamination of where the source came from.
Caveats
Users should be aware that there are possible caveats when analysing and interpreting trade data database reports. Multiple items can be tracked using the same HS number. This can lead to additional items being shipped, which could cause a decrease in the product's trade volume. These extra items won't be taken into account in trade flows, and may result in lower trade volumes between countries. You can find discrepancies in many different ways.
- Compare production and export data to determine if flow is underestimated.
- To determine the average trade share of manufactured goods, primary research is necessary with market participants
- You can use volume or value estimates to approximate the export price. You can compare the average or estimated price of goods.
